Popis: |
The Scythian Iceman, the oldest European mummified body with tattoos, provides strong evidence that the acupuncture meridian theory was established more than 5, 000 years ago. The current medical treatment system in Japan lacks the holistic concepts of traditional oriental medicine of which the meridian system is an important component. In the present study, we developed a new meridian diagnosis instrument to determine the quantitative and qualitative balance of the human body, based on traditional oriental medical theory. A newly devised three point system equipment with a constant current (10μA) generation circuit (INA126) was used to clinically measure the electrical resistance value of the 12 true meridian routes. Furthermore, the electro-physiological background was also investigated. The measured value of the meridian flow resistance of the 12 true meridians was displayed on a meridian flow radar chart, and a traditional oriental medical diagnosis was conducted based on the changes in values on the radar chart. In addition, we also investigated the clinical effect of treatment with acupuncture and oriental herbal medicine of a chronic pain patient diagnosed using radar chart values. |
